Happy Big 6 Ada! Today, we have been very busy celebrating Ada’s birthday! First, bday pumpkin muffins. Next, the traditional WF birthday card.

Baby Doll Mania persists, indoors and outdoors alike.

There’s an exercise we like to use in the early childhood classroom that encourages fine motor/coordination practice: Friends pick up cotton balls with tongs and transfer them from one bowl to another. Here’s a picture of what emergent curriculum looks like: Ben discovering that his pliers could transport fluff from one place to another. It looks pretty simple to the naked eye, and yet these are the moments early childhood teachers get excited about!!!!

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with cheese and pineapple. Lunch: Melted cheese on whole wheat tortillas, cantaloupe/watermelon fruit salad and carrot sticks. Snack: Pumpkin muffins and watermelon.

PS: Marta called us from Syracuse! She had “just caught the big fish!”

Happiness in your day.
